Workshops proposal: II Conference of the Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Context

In the month of November 2017 the Second Conference of the Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) will take place in Oaxaca, México. PECS aims at understanding the social-ecological dynamics at landscape scale using frameworks and tools at a place-based scale for arriving to sustainable resource management principles. PECS is officially part of Future Earth, a global research platform that aims to provide knowledge and support to accelerate our transformations to a sustainable world.

In the context of this conference two workshops are being organized in a joint venture between multiple stakeholders including IIES-UNAM, SwedBio, PECS, ValuES-GIZ, UNESCO and the IPBES TSU on Values.

Proposal

These workshops aim on the one hand to generate a dialogue between multiple stakeholders to understand new ways to contribute to the resilience of social-ecological systems and reinforce biocultural diversity and on the other to generate a broader discussion about multiple conceptualizations of values at the global scale and promote ways forward on the integration of this framework trough the generation of a big scale case-study project.

Both initiatives draw from on-going work undertaken by the Values Technical Support Unit of IPBES based at IIES-UNAM, as well as on the work undertaken by the IPBES ILK task force. They aim to contribute to making more explicit the needs of all stakeholders, especially those whose voices are unheard and who often take the largest burdens from environmental decisions. Thus, both proposals seek to gather a set of stakeholders from the science-policy interphase bringing together discussions that touch upon power relations, gender and equity issues, as well as access and distribution of nature’s contributions to people. Trough the integration of such stakeholders and the discussion of key issues related to biocultural diversity and multiple conceptualizations of values, we expect to tackle different dimensions of the science-policy interphase:

• Tackling multiple types of knowledge • Informing decision-making • Approaching the science-policy arena trough a case-study research proposal

Thus in the following pages you will find the concept notes relevant to the two workshops contained in this proposal including a background description, agendas, participants lists and budget proposals. These are i) Biocultural diversity and resilience of social-ecological systems: Multi-actor dialogues; and ii) Nature’s values: from diverse conceptualizations to practical application.

Institutional Background Several institutions have been involved in the development of this proposal. The IIES-UNAM will enact as the counterpart for the agreement although the support and organization of this workshops involve people coming from various institutional backgrounds. Short descriptions of each institution are developed in the following lines. IIES-UNAM (www.iies.unam.mx) The Ecosystems and Sustainability Research Institute (IIES) aims to undertake scientific research, capacity building and co-production of knowledge with society, aimed at understanding environmental problems related to the management of socio-ecological systems, using disciplinary, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. Its objectives include: 1) To study environmental problems at local, regional, national and global scales and analyse their solution, in order to help build sustainable socio-ecological systems; 2) to promote integral studies of socio-ecological systems, analysing the ecosystems, the social actors that interact with them, their institutions, as well as the cultural and technical means used to manage the resources and services provided by such systems; and 3) bridging scientific and technological research, human resource training and linkages with society for understanding and solving environmental problems. IIES is one of the more than 40 research institutes nested within the National Autonomous University of Mexico and will enact as the counterpart for this agreement. Future Earth (www.futureearth.org) Future Earth is a major international research platform providing knowledge and support to accelerate transformations to a sustainable world. Launched in 2015, Future Earth seeks to build capacity, provide an international research agenda and guide natural and social scientists working around the world on Global Sustainability Science. Future Earth promotes the engagement between science and users of scientific outcomes, thus working closely with United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, Climate biodiversity agreements and more recently with the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. At it’s core, Future Eart is a ‘federation’ of projects and other initiatives related to Global Environmental Change among which we can find PECS and Ecoservices:

• PECS (www.pecs-science.org): The Program on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS), is a Future Earth core-project (jointly sponsored by ICSU and UNESCO). PECS aims to integrate research on the stewardship of social-ecological systems, the services they generate, and the relationships among natural capital, human wellbeing, livelihoods, inequality, and poverty. PECS research will be explicitly transdisciplinary and intersectoral, and will thereby break down barriers that have impeded understanding of social-ecological transformations. PECS aims to understand interactions across scales, such as fast and slow drivers of social and ecological change, thresholds, traps and time lags, in order to identify appropriate

operational scales. A comparative, place-based approach, international in scope, is at the core of PECS research. PECS will hold its second open science conference in Oaxaca in November 2017.

• EcoSERVICES: Ecosystems play a key role for human well-being and the sustainable development of the relationship between people and the environment. In this context, EcoSERVICES is dedicated to investigating the impact of biodiversity change on ecosystem functioning and services and human well-being. During the last decade the ecoSERVICES project has played an important role in strengthening the conceptual framework of ‘ecosystem services’ in relation to human well-being and now it is entering a second phase to involve new partnerships to address outstanding gaps.

Red de Socioecosistemas y Sustentabilidad (www.redsocioecos.org) The network is aimed at fostering the potential for collaboration among Mexican scientists with specific emphasis on addressing strategic environmental problems of the country, through a dynamic, horizontal and creative interaction. Its mission is to achieve the co-design of research, between disciplines and between sectors of society. Initiatives will emerge from the bottom up, from spontaneous initiatives proposed by its members, as well as top-down visions derived from the work of committees with membership. The field of study of this network will be the ecosystems of Mexico and the sustainability of these as well as the societies that depend on them. The emphasis is on understanding how the large biodiversity that our country holds can be maintained while also meeting the needs of the country's growing population. Particular emphasis will be placed on the functional processes that occur in all of their ecosystems, from the most diverse and well preserved to the intensely managed or degraded, exploring how to maintain them and also ensure the flow of services they offer to societies. It will seek alternative management, technology, governance, and public policies that will sustain the growth of Mexico while ensuring the maintenance of its natural capital. The research network is largely funded by the Mexican Research Fund CONACYT. IPBES Technical Support Unit on Values (TSUV) The IBES Technical Support Unit on Values (TSUV) is hosted by the Sustainability and Ecosystems Research Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (IIES-UNAM) and funded by the Deutsche Gesselleschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbait (GIZ) GmbH. It aims at providing technical and administrative support for the implementation and catalization of the guide on diverse conceptualizations of values across IPBES deliverables, and supporting (as possible) efforts to integrate the guide on diverse conceptualizations of values beyond IPBES deliverables. It has acted as a focal point for discussions and knowledge development related to multiple values across regions of the world and will be participating in this initiative, more specifically in the workshop related to ‘Nature’s values’. GIZ ValuES (www.aboutvalues.net) The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German federal enterprise that aims to support the German Government and other donosrs in achieving their objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. ValuES is one of GIZ’s projects trough which it aids decision-makers in recognizing and integrating ecosystem services into policy making, planning and

implementation of specific projects. This is achieved trough the development of instruments, training courses, technical advisory and the facilitation of planning and decision-making processes. SwedBio (swed.bio) SwedBio is a knowledge interface funded by Sida and based at Stockholm Resilience Centre with the aim of contributing to poverty alleviation, equity, sustainable livelihoods and social-ecological systems rich in biodiversity. SwedBio enables knowledge generation, dialogue and exchange between practitioners, policy makers and scientists for development and implementation of policies and methods at multiple scales. Among its activities, Swedbio strives towards fostering collaborative learning with science and practice collaborative learning process trough multi-actor dialogues on different levels to craft solutions.

Biocultural diversity and resilience of social-ecological systems: Multi-actor dialogues.

11-12 November 2017 Oaxaca, México

Patricia Balvanera, Juliana Meçon, Bárbara Ayala-Orozco, Julieta Rosell, Berta Martín-López, María Perevochtchikova

Background In a world of accelerated global environmental change, biocultural diversity plays a crucial role in maintaining the resilience of social-ecological systems8. Biocultural diversity includes the diversity of life, human cultures, and languages9. It emerges from the close interactions among biological and cultural diversity10. The links between biological, cultural and linguistic diversity have developed over time through mutual adaptation and possibly co-evolution2.

Biocultural diversity has been shown to be critical for the long-term maintenance of biodiversity3. Many hotspots of biological diversity match well with areas with highest cultural diversity11. Local knowledge and community-based conservation have been shown to be closely interlinked12. Communities who depend directly on natural resources have developed practices, institutions, and knowledge to adapt to social and environmental changes13; and many of these hold precious knowledge of how biological and cultural diversity can enhance the ability of societies to cope with present and future global changes14, 5.

Understanding the role that biocultural diversity plays in the resilience of social-ecological systems will inform on pathways towards ensuring resilience within the anthropocene1. Such understanding can also contribute to elucidating aspects of the current and fast evolution of biocultural diversity and the growing threats associated with cultural erosion15. Assessing

lessons learned and elaborating on future perspectives towards navigating such rapid changes and fostering sustainability from the interplay between biocultural diversity and social-ecological resilience are most urgently needed.

Unique opportunities emerge from collaborative learning among practitioners from indigenous and non-indigenous communities, scientists and policy makers around the connections between biocultural diversity and resilience as ways to identify and foster good governance for social-ecological systems. The dialogue among different social actors working at different scales in the global north and the global south on the current roles, challenges, and future alternatives for biocultural diversity as a key element of social-ecological resilience can inform local, national, regional and global policy processes. The identification of lessons learned from the ground by biocultural diversity knowledge holders can further enrich the search for future alternatives by policy makers, scientists and practitioners for the safe navigation of social-ecological systems.

A particularly promising setting for such dialogues is the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, one of the areas of the world with the most prominent biocultural diversity16. While conserving an important fraction of its biocultural diversity, Oaxaca has been subjected to important cultural and governance changes fostered, among other drivers, by rural out-migration17. This area is also the home to several local initiatives that promote the conservation of biocultural diversity and the co-creating of knowledge and institutions towards its maintenance. The celebration of the international conference of the Programme for Ecosystem Change and Society in November 2017 (PECS 2017, www.pecii.org), in the city of Oaxaca, provides a unique opportunity to highlight the biocultural diversity of Oaxaca and for creating a fruitful space for interactions among diverse actors. Specifically, these dialogues will contribute to the ongoing search for new opportunities or promising seeds for the Anthropocene18.

Finally, this initiative will contribute to the achievement of the key objectives of the UNESCO-SCBD joint programme that seeks to increase awareness about the links between cultural and biological diversity in natural resource management and decision-making processes, as well as for the resilience of social-ecological systems. In particular, the initiative will contribute to the achievement of the objective number five, which is to support and foster learning networks on bio-cultural approaches, linking grassroots and community initiatives with local, national, regional and global policy processes (www.cbd.int/lbcd/).

Key objectives The main objectives of this initiative are 1. to co-create new understandings around how different actors can contribute to the resilience of social-ecological systems by reinforcing its biocultural diversity and 2. to make recommendations for governance alternatives that promote biocultural diversity and its key role in boosting the resilience of social-ecological systems in the Anthropocene, through multiple dialogues and cross-fertilization among indigenous and non-indigenous practitioners, scientists and policy makers, thus contributing to the achievement of the key goals of the UNESCO-SCBD joint programme and the IPBES work on ILK and Diverse Values trough the following particular objectives:

(i) Discuss the role of biocultural diversity in the resilience of social-ecological systems through a collaborative learning approach.

(ii) Foster knowledge generation through the dialogue and cross-fertilization among different actors (scientists, practitioners, local communities, and policy makers), cultures and ways of knowing.

(iii) Assess how different perspectives and knowledge systems, practices, and institutions contribute towards the resilience of social-ecological systems (past, present, future).

(iv) Weave networks across scales (local, regional, international) and sectors (academia, civil society organizations, local, indigenous and peasant groups, and government) related to the maintenance of biocultural diversity.

(v) Formulate recommendations to policy makers and other stakeholders working at local, national and international scales.

(vi) Generate recommendations for the IPBES work on ILK and Diverse Values. (vii) Present a collective declaration to be distributed to the press.

A rough agenda of the workshop is presented in Annex 1 to achieve the above objectives. The participants of the workshop The multiple dialogues on biocultural diversity and social-ecological resilience are aimed to create opportunities for cross-fertilization and interactions among actors from different sectors. The configuration of the teams of participants is designed to bring together very heterogeneous perspectives, both among and within the different types of actors. The activities are designed to allow for very diverse ways of communication and co-creation of insights. Professional facilitators and long-experienced transdisciplinary researchers are involved in this initiative to ensure the creation of adequate opportunities for co-creation. A full list of participants can be reviewed in Annex 2 to this document.

We have designed activities aimed at providing the conditions for a productive exchange between different actors and knowledge communities regarding the role of biocultural diversity in the resilience of socio-ecological systems:

1. Multi-actor symposium within PECS 2017 with key representatives from the

academia, civil society organizations, and the government, in addition to community leaders;

2. Two-day multi-actor dialogue aimed to generate a deeper conceptual and methodological exchange between different actors and knowledge communities.

Sharing of knowledge during these activities will be based on free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). To enable more equitable, transparent and synergic processes, activities will be guided by the Multiple Evidence Base approach (MEB). Outcomes of the workshop The outcomes of the multi-actor dialogues on biocultural diversity and resilience of social-ecological system include:

(viii) Collaborative learning, exchanges, and knowledge generation among scientists, practitioners, local communities, and policy makers, bringing together diverse ways of understanding the connections between biocultural diversity and the resilience of social-ecological systems.

(ix) Collective assessment of how different perspectives and knowledge systems, practices, and institutions linked to biocultural diversity contribute towards the resilience of social-ecological systems.

(x) The creation of novel networks between participants from different sectors and at different scales, that contribute to the achievement of objective number five of the UNESCO-SCBD joint programme, and the IPBES work on ILK and diverse values.

(xi) The co-creation of future opportunities for the good governance of biocultural diversity in different social-ecological systems.

(xii) Increase participants’ capability of impacting local, national and regional institutions on the importance of cultural and biological diversity for the resilience of social-ecological systems, following objectives of the UNESCO-SCBD joint programme and the Múuch´tambal Summit Declaration 2016 in Cancun, and the 2016 Ishikawa declaration on biocultural diversity.

(xiii) Increase awareness of CBD focal points across the signatory countries on the importance of biocultural diversity for the resilience of social-ecological systems.

Description of co-funders Funding for this workshop is expected to be shared between PECS, IIES-UNAM, Red de Socio-ecosistemas y Sustentabilidad and SwedBio, covering for transportation, food, lodging translation, and materials for approximately 40 participants. A full budget description can be reviewed in Annex 3 to this document.

Nature’s values: from diverse conceptualizations to practical

application 11-13 November 2017

Oaxaca, México Unai Pascual, Patricia Balvanera & David González

Background Natural assets are perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. Initiatives at the knowledge-policy interface require a pluralistic approach to recognizing the diversity of values of nature. Moreover, such recognition needs to pave the way to practical implementation of novel valuation approaches where values across stakeholders may be hard to compare on the same yardstick. Better understanding ways towards bridging incommensurable values in society should be a priority within sustainability science. Indeed, the interplay of different conceptualizations of values necessarily yields diverse perspectives on aspects pertaining to, for instance, nature conservation, social-ecological resilience and equity, and ways of achieving sustainable development goals within planetary boundaries. This vision on valuation of natural assets also requires recognizing and addressing power relationships across stakeholder groups that hold different value systems on human nature-relations. Since the 1992 Rio Summit, various scientific lenses have strived to enhance the understanding of values of natural assets, but mostly from a unidimensional perspective, e.g., with an economic or ecological value lens.

There is a new thrust by global initiatives to support science-policy efforts for transformative practices aiming at sustainable futures. This includes the vision by Future Earth (including core programs such as ecoSERVICES and PECS) emphasizing the need to co-design and co-produce new social-ecological knowledge on values, and the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) recognizing the need to embrace a pluralistic (social-ecological) valuation framework. In this context, Future Earth supports the call for an international workshop that aims to provide a global scientific agenda towards a new era of studies and assessments of the values of natural assets to support better governance approaches around the world.

Key objectives The objective of this workshop is to progress from the guide on values produced by IPBES in 2016 and synthesized in Pascual et al (2017)19, towards operationalizing its core idea of the

need for a pluralistic value framing, check its opportunities and challenges. The workshop will be organized to achieve the following objectives:

(i) Generate an in-depth discussion of current valuation perspectives: challenges, opportunities and limitations faced so far,

(ii) Discuss a strategic framing towards a new valuation approach: Opportunities, challenges related to applicability/practice beyond concepts/theory,

(iii) Select a core set of case studies and core protocol to follow to achieve complementarity and comparability of results in the future,

(iv) Outline a strategic research proposal, to tackle conflicts between values, for later policy dissemination,

(v) Identify a core set of experts who will be responsible to move the above forward during 2018 and liaise with a broader group of organizations and experts to mobilize funding and research opportunities; and

(vi) Scope the possibility of creating a network with young scientists (PhDs and postdocs) who would benefit from participating in this initiative and support it.

A rough agenda of the workshop is presented in Annex 4 to achieve the above objectives. The participants of the workshop Approximately 25 experts from around the world will participate in the workshop, all of them with different disciplinary perspectives on valuation and coming from multiple science-policy backgrounds. Experts will have experience in interdisciplinary research on values and valuation. Some participants will also have hands-on experience with a pluralistic valuation approach coming from the policy-practice arena and in a case studies of their own, preferably one in which they worked for a long time and where effective interaction with stakeholders has already been achieved. Other participants will provide a more strategic input and will also have a close link to various key organizations, such as FutureEarth (ecoSERVICES and PECS), UNESCO, SwedBio and GIZ (Annex 5). It is expected that the workshop will be funded by all these organizations both financially and in-kind. The balance of the participating group of experts will consider: discipline, science, gender and geographical scope. The participation of ILK experts will also be secured. Outcomes of the workshop It is envisaged that this workshop will create synergies with other initiatives that are on-going and may be planned in the future on values of nature and nature’s contributions to people. The workshop is seen as a seed that will be nurtured over 2018 and which will start providing some results during and after 2018 through a well planned network approach. This will involve identifying priorities, complementarities with other similar initiatives and collaborative approaches with a core set of organizations that have a similar strategic vision. Among its deliverables objectives iii), iv) and v) highlight the aim of operationalizing a strategic research proposal on values within case studies around the world where issues such as equity, gender, poverty and distribution may arise as part of the interplay between multiple values. As a result, future work around such case-studies may result in strategies to tackle conflicts between values which derive in un-even distribution of nature’s contributions to people, overlooking the unheard voices of misrepresented stakeholders, and differential access to nature and it’s contributions to a good quality of life, among many other issues.

Budget and funding strategy Travel expenses, lodging and meals from participants will be funded by the participant institutions such as FutureEarth (ecoSERVICES and PECS), UNESCO, SwedBio and GIZ. Costs associated to the venue for the workshop will be covered trough funding from SwedBio. Further details on the budget can be found in Annex 6 to this document.
